Maybe if you encrust the diamond on a weapon, Ruby would be interested, but I don't think a diamond alone would spark anything.

Got any idea on the other two?

[roseoftexas]

Make a point of how big the resale value is on it for Aika. She's really quick to try and sell you things. Or upsell you on things.

[piteous]

... I don't think any of us will buy the diamond.

Maybe Ylfa.

[roseoftexas]

I feel like Ylfa would either want to buy it, genuinely, or know you're scamming her. No inbetween.

[piteous]

A diamond's a girl's best friend? Maybe she'd buy that.

[roseoftexas]

... Diamond axe?

[piteous]

Diamond axe.

[ ... ]

Maybe it'll make her feel a little better.

[roseoftexas]

[ .... ]

Yeah.

It's been a rough couple of weeks for her.

[piteous]

It's been rough for all of us.

[ how are we both alive becci the gods are too cruel ]

You holding up okay, Shooey Shu?

[roseoftexas]

[ i am begging someone to kill shu. ]

...

[ but first the main point here: ]

"Shooey Shu"?

[piteous]

Shu?

[ it is a cute nickname ]

[roseoftexas]

Where'd the 'Shooey' come from...

[piteous]

I added an -ee noise after your name to make it cute!

[roseoftexas]

[ .... ok. ]

Okay.

Do you nickname a lot of people?

[piteous]

[ did i ever mention that most of his hair is black except for one blond streak at the front ]

I do. I think it's fun sometimes. I used to call Shenhe "Snowie," not that I've seen snow until here.

[roseoftexas]

[ i deeply hate you and am ignoring you and assigning him blonde. ]

-- oh right, desert planet. How'd you find the snow? Cold? Fun?

[piteous]

[ sometimes you go grey, but in this case it's go black

Strokes chin as he checks out all this salt. ]

Both! But... Kind of hard not to affiliate it with stuff.

[ Shenhe. Then the blizzard murders. ]

[roseoftexas]

With psychs?

Normally it's indicative of... cold and holidays. Some people love it, some people hate it.

[piteous]

... With this place.

[ But... Huh. ]

Holidays, huh. I wonder if I just need to have a better memory at the weather factory.

[roseoftexas]

Where I'm from it's a religious holiday, but... I think people just celebrate it because it's there. People get together and buy presents and a share a meal.

... Even if you don't have family, you can celebrate with friends.

[piteous]

[ Thinking about this because it sounds familiar. ]

Christmas, right?

[roseoftexas]

Bingo.

A lot of people associate snow and Christmas.

[piteous]

Now that I think about it, I haven't celebrated Christmas in a long time.

[roseoftexas]

You have done before?

[piteous]

Yeah, with my family.

No snow or anything, but I'd bring all the kids souvenirs from my travels. The adults would get alcohol.
